That is a lot of work very fast. Impressive.
Damn! I can't even keep the clock set on my microwave.
Awesome work!
Awesome work!

Thanks for all of the compliments!! I am making another one now, that is much better, for someone. I am perfecting my design and hope to have my files available in August along with plenty of reference photos for you guys. Here is the new one..

Re: Weebo from "Flubber"
Sorry guys for the delays updating here! I have been busy with other projects but have also been building a second more accurate Weebo. This has given me the opportunity to take more photos and have been trying to make a somewhat of a guide for you guys. I will be putting all of the files up on my site including STLs, Audio, Video and all my reference photos. Give me a few more weeks and it will all be available to you guys.
Now some new things I have finished on this second one is more accurate dimensions thanks to Adam sending me reference photos. He was also kind enough to send me a couple original castings of the Eye lens and the 3 Engine Jets. I went ahead on my new design and remodeled the Lower Jets based on Adam's parts. So now the 3 lower jets are more accurate and have been given servos to make them move. It has turned out awesome! I also added a working 12v light to Weebos flashlight. I used a pinball lamp instead of a LED because I feel that is more accurate. Here is a couple of videos.

I'd like to see what you have. I made a 3d printed mesh but ended up leaving it out as all of my mounting and cables ran through that vent.

I have one complete sheet left, it is 15x11". The holes are 1/8" on either 3/16" or 5mm spacing. The plastic is soft and flexible and can be cut by scissors.
I don't remember where I got it exactly, it may have been American Science and Surplus. I used it all over on my Radioactive Ammo PC, so the sheet has been sitting in my bin of materials for a decade. (Had to clear quite a bit of dust off to take the photos
).
As a fellow functional prop enthusiast, how about this: Half the sheet for (7.5x11") for just the price of shipping from zip code 78613. Or the full sheet for $10 + shipping. (You decide if I cut it down to fit a flat rate box, or use a larger box). PM me to work it out.

As suggestion: Once you know your full cable load, perhaps you could wire everything to a single connector. You can get up to 14 contacts + shield from a DIN connector. See this photo where I used one for VGA video. I think a DIN connector will fit into that vent slot.

Well today is your lucky day! I have published the post on my site that has everything listed. I have added tons of photos, videos and of course STL files for the Weebo. I also tried my best to make a walkthrough of how I built mine. Please download the files and start printing your own and POST PHOTOS! Id love to see others making their very own Weebo!
